1t has been determined to place the stock
of the Company at 600 shares of ten dol
lars cach and until this amount be subscrb-
ed no contracts will be entered into nor any
assessments made; that is, the prerequisite
to an undertaking Of the work is that ten
thousand dollars worth of stock be subsclib-

ment do not anticipate the taking Of this
amount by our own people, but do expect a
largely controlling interest to I've owned by

straightforward, business-like way by our
people. Opposition to it is to be expected,
but it should be conducted upon grounds at
least supposed to be teEab(e and those who
find themselves in error should have the NOR
al courage to make the acknowledgement
and not persist in Il Fictitious opposition
To those in direct charge of the project
should be given in every way the undivided
moral support of its friends they will en-
counter some tough problems likely, before
success is accomplished and while they are
